How to add - click the pencil icon and add: yarn - price range - rating out of 10 - bought from - and any other info!
CHENILLE:
Yarnsmiths chunky chenille - £2.99 gbp(on sale from £5 gbp) - 8/10 - from Wool Warehouse - doesn’t shed too much, cheap delivery, lots of colours.
Utopia Crafts velvet lux - £2 gbp-£3 gbp - 6/10 - Utopia Crafts LTD - rarely in stock, yarn texture varies, but very cheap.
Sweet snuggles lite - 12-15 CAD - 7/10 - Michaels - Very soft and silky, but snaps super easily.
Loops & Threads Skinny Chenille - $9.99 USD - 10/10 - Michaels - soft cuddly - medium size 4 - makes magic circles beautifully so long as your first chain isn’t super tight and it doesn’t snap, goes on Clarence sales (in-store only) for $3-$5 depending on color popularity in the area.
Jellybaby - £3-£4 gbp - 8/10 - amazon - good quality, good colours, sheds a lot
Flutterby chunky - £3-£5 gbp- 6/10 - hobbycraft, amazon - soft, doesn’t shed too much, but extremely thin! There are some very pretty colours tho, and u can buy in lots of places in the uk where chenille is hard to find
Portacraft blanket chenille - AU$4 - 9/10 - Cheap store - most affordable chunky yarn I can find in Australia, great quality, snaps fairly easily, impossible to make magic ring with (needs ch 2 method)
COTTON:
Taobao cotton - ¥6 I think? From taobao
ACRYLIC:
Loops and Threads Salmon Pink - $4.99 CAD from Michael’s - Medium Worsted - 9/10 - A wide variety of colours for cheap, doesn’t splinter off and good for hats & amigurumi details!
BLANKET:
Loops and Threads Grande Ombre- $10 usd - micheals - 207.8 yd/190 m - soft, magic circle works with this yarn, relatively good amount of colors. 10/10
Bernat blanket - £10 gpd-£15 gpd or $10- $13 usd - 9/10 - Various yarn shops - big, lasts long, good quality, but expensive if you don’t need too much.
Chinese yarn 🩷 - Taobao
I use the first one with a 5.5 mm hook, and the second one with a 6.0 mm hook ![]()
This is an EXTREMELY high quality yarn, as it doesn’t shed and I make my mr without trouble, and it isn’t “squeaky”
Additionally, a 25mm blanket yarn is really good from taobao!
VELVET:
Loops and Threads Premir yarn - 13usd/9(ish)gpd - 10/10 - Micheals - Big, good quality and perfect to add small details to projects with a more softer feel (without using acrylic)
Edelwiess Mini Velvet yarn: $3.05 - 11/10 - Shopee - Thin, sheds sometimes, shimmery
Bernat Baby Velvet - £10-£15 gbp - 9/10 - lots of places - Big, doesnt shed, very good quality, not good if u don’t need too much but lasts FOREVER!! 400m I think. The reason it is 9/10 is cuz there were loads of factory knots, but that could just be a bad ball of yarn
BLENDS:
Jeans (YarnArt) - 1,50-2€ for a 50g skein - 8/10 - bought it from my local yarn shop - it’s pretty soft, the strands don’t separate, easy to use, many beautiful colours, but for some maybe too thin (it reccomends a 3,5mm hook)
FLUFFY:
Yeti - £3-£4 gbp - 10/10 - amazon - super soft, affordable, FLOOOFFFYYY
Moda Vera Otis Faux - AU$7.15 - 9/10 - Spotlight (Australia) - Good quality but is fairly easy to snap
OTHER: (if any other big ones then pls add headers for them!)
Gradient - taobao - 7 - 10¥ - TaoBao
